Meet-up in Indonesia
My name is I.C. Suckers, and I invented the daily power sneeze. Yesterday, I jetted into Indonesia by bicycle, to join a meeting of Indonesian Bloggers and suck up their vibes. It was a great opportunity for me to brain-dump my info-monkey on them, even though about 99% of them only spoke Indonesian and I don’t.
Heh - now that could have been a real inter-lingual communications spark freak disaster! But luckily one of them spoke Powerpoint and he was able to poke the others with his digital finger.
I got to meet Toby Jackson, the inventor of the spagback! We shook hands! It was keeewwwwel!
Indonesian Blog Meet Stats!!
- 100% of them wore shoes!
- Some of them had their hair combed to the left. That surprised me, as I know for a fact that hair combing is still in its infancy in Indonesia
- 20 of the wore suits, and 10 of those suits were dark blue. Now that was unexpected!
- About 57.32% had laptops, while 99% had laps. One guy had a laptop but no lap. So his laptop just dropped right through his legs. Mega heavy bad design. When will the makers of laptops learn that not everyone has a lap?
A quick wander told me that most of the laptops were switched to Google, but some of them were switched to CNN and one of them had Microsoft Outlook, Mega-Keewwwwel. The rest of them just hid their lap tops and asked me something angry in Indonesian. I had forgotten that in their culture, it’s rude to stare at a lap top. I apologised for this blunder and wrote a note about it on a napkin. If only I had brought my latest book - “How to Go to Indonesia and Not Look Like an Idiot. - only $99.99 through my web site“, I thought, hastily.
Back in my hotel room, I power ate a Krakatoa Special Meal for One, and I pondered the marketing opportunities for a shrink wrap that doesn’t actually stick to noodles. Then I ran around the room for a bit before falling asleep in the wardrobe. Great fun and definitely very keeewwwwel.
